'The Crown' Season 4 trailer brings Margaret Thatcher and Princess Diana into the royal mix
Watch Next

Gillian Anderson is almost unrecognizable as Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in the first full trailer for Season 4 of Netflix's royal bio-drama The Crown. The trailer sets up parallels and tensions between Thatcher and Queen Elizabeth II (Olivia Coleman), which rise alongside Prince Charles' seemingly strained romance with Lady Diana Spencer, the woman the world would come to love as Princess Diana.

The trailer also offers a glimpse of Diana's famous wedding dress, warnings about the marriage from Princess Margaret, and plenty of ominous Thatcher-era glaring across fancy parlors. Yeah, that's The Crown we signed up for. Come through with the good stuff, Season 4.

The Crown Season 4 premieres on Netflix Nov. 15.
